Comment:
Hardest course I've ever taken by a long shot. Labs are very time consuming and confusing. Tests are insanely difficult, no easy way to study because questions are always random combinations of different material. Buy the textbook with the answers not only to study but also for the exam, which was open book. Everyone failed so he curved it a lot.

Comment:
Proff Hashemi is super knowledgable. He does an extremely good job of explaining the concepts clearly. However, if you lack understanding of courses from previous years, such as SYSC 3500 and 3503, you will struggle, A LOT. If you actually care about learning, fundamentally understanding topics in communications, and not just grades, go with him

Comment:
Ok realistically the prof is very knowledgeable but the material is really hard to grasp and he goes really fast over it without making sure we understand. Assignment are non mendatory and will not help you at all for the midterm or final. The 5 quizzes are super easy and they are almost the same every year. The final is sooo hard.

He is mean and never gives part marks. The exam is very very hard and the questions are totally different with your assignments. If you take his course, be ready to fail

He explains the course content clearly. As others have mentioned too, the exams are challenging. The assignments are related to the exam and course content. Very reachable.

Every one warned me b4 taking this class that its a super hard course with a tuff professor, it was an amazing experience, he is some one who knows his stuff and knows how to teach very well. If u interested in wireless communication or even digital communication sysc4604,he is the one to engrave these information smoothly in your brain

He knows what he is teaching! He makes you understand everything related to that course. His EXAMS are challenging except a midterm to keep you in the course! He says its simple, but you will see. His assignements make you thing like you are in the real world [Know by heart not by memorizing!].

People say his tests are hard, but they questions have simple elegant answers. They are designed in a way to make sure the the student understand the theory. Very smart and knows what he's talking about. Good class, but prepare to be challenged.

BEWARE OF TESTS!! I had him for 3503 as well and his tests are brutal. He comes across as a nice guy, but he will eat you alive with his tests. Not a bad person, but there is a reason he smirks when he says that tests will be simple. Really expects you to thoroughly understand your stuff. WILL lower marks on tests if average is too high.

God save and protect you all. If he thinks you're up to something, he'll never let you be. Skins you and throws you away and bbq's your skin and eats it to his full satisfaction.

I was registered with another prof yet I used to go to Banihashmi's class to listen to his lectures. Amazing Prof. I don't appreciate the stereotype made below about minorities being cheaters though. Prof Banihashmi is from a minority group himself!

A very good instructor whom, if he suspects cheating does something about it which is nice for a change. The minority cliques have been cheating all the way along so a professor who demands honor and honesty in the students' work is a welcome change.

the course is difficult, less so than the prof. Delays returning midterms so that you can't drop the course. FIRE HIM! Send him back to Tehran.
